1991 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"High quality, solid and reliable transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I acquired the car the following items have been replaced:
-alternator.
-thermostat.
-speed-sensor (no after-market parts available, lots of $$$)
-left and right outer tie-rod-ends.
-the front strut assembly.
General comments?
As is the case with all Hondas, the body will rust out long before the mechanical system stops working. If you can keep the body from deteriorating, you can be assured the car will last well over 10 years without having to get any major mechanical work done.
The car drives exceptionally well for an 11 year old car. In many cases, much better than domestic cars half the age of my car! I cannot say that the car has been trouble free since I took ownership of it, but considering its age and mileage, the parts that did need to be replaced were not due to poor workmanship/design/engineering, but simply age, wear and tear.
I would certainly buy another product from Honda. My father also has a Honda (Civic) and he has had great luck with the vehicle.
